Temp has been up a bit it mine, too. But, with the warmer temperatures over the last few days, I figured that was the culprit. Maybe not?

I don't know what you started off with.
Every tank has it's own 'sweetspot' and I'd like to see you start again from the smaller end.
I suggest this as you say all your critters are being blown around with no end to the storm, per se.

What pump did you start with ?

And for the record, I am not an expert. I am just trying to help
I started with the stock pump: a Dophin p-150. I have a Maxi Jet 400 on the way. I had purchased it to run a reactor in my other tank, but I'll try it in this tank to see if it allows me to run a pump and a little powerhead. As for the reactor, I'll try it with the little Dophin instead. As I'll be running a couple of reactors (the littlest ones on the market) in the other tank, the 900 might work well for powering those.
